The Nebraska Judicial Branch wants to warn the public about a computer virus that is being delivered via email falsely claiming to be about a court case.

The Judicial Branch has learned that the email references an upcoming court case; however, the email is a scam. Opening any attachment or clicking on any link in the message may trigger a malicious program designed to infect the recipient’s computer.
